Okay, so I read this site every day, and I should be up on this...... but is there / has there been
any developments with regard to forged/mag' wheels for our Bonnie's?

Last I heard, the Italian wheels once available through a west coast dealer had their issues. Not only were the wheels expensive, but there was also the additional expense of a modified front end.

Any developments with mag wheels for our Bonnies?

Rod..... I think your three spoke are ****, I like 'em!

So, I guess I hafta provide the hubs, and how much money we talking 'bout here? Who/where are any outlets in the states that deal with these puppies?

I could go into more detail about my situation, but I'm pretty pissed off right now at my circumstance.... so better I get this addressed and/or explore my options.

Or find myself having to sell my bike.
(any big money takers out there?)
:???:

No hubs. The rims are complete with bearings and sprocket. You swap in your rotors,dust seals,speedo drive and spacers..Oncycle.com is the US distributor but they don`t list the Bonnie or my rims.Probably need to call them. I keep my spoked rims mounted,balanced and ready to swap back on whenever. :-D

There's this option:



Unfortunately for me, it only exists in digital form...for now. I just got my motor back together yesterday. I'm going to shake it down for a few weeks then start on the SV650 parts swap. I'll have to have a custom brake rotor machined for the rear wheel, and probably some front end stuff made too...
